Touring tool kit.

Post by Red Dog »

Hi guys.

I'm hoping to do a 2/3 week tour covering ~2k miles on my 2009 B400. What tools should I take?

I'm reasonably competent, I used to do basic work on my own cars back in the day when it was possible to actually do something to a car.

I suppose my biggest worry is having an unrepairable puncture and having to remove a wheel so that I can take it somewhere to have a new tire fitted.

BTW- How much would I expect to pay for say, a month's breakdown recovery insurance?

UK or Europe? Get a breakdown/recovery policy.

Lyn was upset in Spain as I had some female torx sockets to take Jaz's swing arm off with and he didn't .They had to borrow mine , I supervised while sun bathing on the decking .

Tis all true, Julian EVEN had the correct spare rear wheel bearing in his butty box :lol: mind you he was on an Italin machine so LOTS of spares needed just in-case :lol: :lol: :lol:

Jaz besides being a good cook in the kitchen is a wizz at warming up a swing arm on a gas bbq so bearing knocks out with ease .So add him to your list

I'd take a spare belt at least you can get any garage to fit it .If it was me I'd put a new one one before tour if it needs one or not and take other as a spare
